Any idea the best way of doing this? i used a pac previously in my 2008 gmc. i dont see that they make one yet. My amp is capable of using the speaker input as a remote turn on but i dont want to splice into the factory speaker wire.

LLJ Customs makes a t-harness that will connect right into your factory plugs behind the glove box.

I know you said you don’t want to splice...

 

however, if you pop up the plastic on your front  door sill on the passenger side (in the harness) you’ll find a twisted pair of blueblack and white. Those feed the rear door speaker on the right door. 
 

on the driver’s side they’re Green and greenblack (if I remember correctly). They feed the left rear. They’re easy to tap into for a line out converter. 
 

that’s what I did. It worked out great.

My current Acadia has the factory Bose system with 10 speakers, great for OEM, but not as good as custom :thumb:I hated the 6 speaker base system in both my previous Acadias.You can not replace 8 ohm speakers with 4 ohm speakers. Short time frame, okay... but you will burn out the amplifier shortly. I was told about this by a friend who is engaged in event staging services and often meets with problems in his car with audio systems and in his work.The amplifier is not designed to run at 4 ohm and will have problems delivering enough power to those speakers. Eventually you will fry the amplifier.

OK, so I just purchased a 2020 GMC Sierra SLT with the Bose Premium Sound system.  At this point, this is where I am.

 

Considering these speakers and enclosure: > https://www.jlaudio.com/collections/car-audio-stealthbox/products/sb-gm-slvcc4-12tw3-d8-car-audio-stealthbox-94668

* A little pricey, but hey JL Audio quality

 

With this AMP: > https://www.jlaudio.com/products/xd400-4v2-car-audio-xdv2-amplifiers-98602

 

I need the schematic for the Bose Premium Sound system, what model Bose, information (all I can get), to include if possible the stock amp.  Does this Head have a low signal output (for subs)???

 

Something else I found which was really interesting is (not to use the rear speakers for signal input)

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jake87 · Posted

      Bro, you still got that truck? I'm not seeing any m rust or flaking, which rusted metal flakes. Everyone thinks the wax "is rusty" but it absorbs its surrounding environment, creating a hard, natural shell that you can literally shoot with a bullet and won't flake off. It'll last 50 years like that as long as the barrier isn't compromised by getting in a wreck or meets a chemical that disolves wax. My 09's frame is even duller looking than that, and is holding up better than my rockers or 3rd set of painted shocks.

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By newdude · Posted

      No.   That would be an LT and higher trim.  Passive entry.  There would be a little button on the door handle and you can program it to proximity lock or unlock.     WT and Custom do not get this feature.

      Mediocre, how much did they lose on the poorly conceived EV strategy?   I wonder how much the stock price is being 'inflated' by all the buy-backs?   Cadillac literally looks like a brand without a rudder, no clear goals or product direction - performance or luxury? I guess performance because we can throw a small block in whatever we can and call it a day. Certainly not luxury when a Denali or High Country is reasonably cross shoppable. The Celestiq - no way - no vehicle can command quarter million prices when something wearing the same badge is on the buy here pay here lot across town.   Notice the 'base' Escalade doesn't even come with the 'leather-appointed' seating surfaces.   Hummer EV - fail Silverado EV - fail Sierra EV - fail Bolt/Volt EV (The most successful EV cancelled, restarted, cancelled, whatever its current status it)   Hybrids - none Sedans - none Medium duty - not anymore Minivan - none Coupe - none Convertible - none CUVs - 20+/-   6.2 Recall that landed squarely on the GMs highest seller - and specifically the fattest margin higher trims of the Yukon, Escalade, et. al. The most critical product line they fumbled big time. In the Escalade segment, are those buyers forgiving GM for a bad engine and patiently waiting for the fixes and dealing with the headaches? Nope, they dump them and go straight to the other premium brands.   In the ENTIRE GM portfolio how many aspirational vehicles are there? Corvette, Escalade (quickly being superseded by the obvious better value Denali)...   I posted somewhere else... what if Cadillac left the luxury game and became a performance brand similar to AMG or (gasp) Ferrari? Cut all the entry-level and base models from their line up and focus on the V-series or Blackwing or whatever they call it now. Of course, those would have the pre-requisite luxury and technology as standard equipment. This opens the floor for Buick to step in/up as the luxury brand (like they are in China), no 'performance pretenses' get rid of the 'entry-level' models with equally 'entry-level' power trains and become the Maybach to Cadillacs AMG. With those two brands effectively out of the way Chevrolet, the 'entry-level' brand has the floor to itself and GMC can take over as 'professional grade'.    Now each brand has a focus, no in-fighting, clear direction, and customer targets.   Just need to sneakily slide Corvette into the Cadillac brand and dump the vestigial script writing.

      I can't get enthusiastic about the 1.5T (or the 1.3 or the 1.2), I won't drive a CVT. But the stupid things sell in volume.

      There is a big difference in motorcycles and vehicles - nobody needs a motorcycle, they WANT one. That WANT is the most powerful force to drive price upwards.   I've hated every iteration of the Equinox, a prime example of GM laziness. It excelled at absolutely nothing, barely competitive by every metric. At least the latest generation looks decent.    I want to like the Buick Envista, but that pitiful engine plus FWD only is a BIG NO for me, I don't care how good it looks.
